Rice used is something from Kasama That's one word for the wonderful ‼️. I feel it's sophisticated and seamless. Full of flavor with a clean aftertaste. The price is high, but the level is also quite high. ‼️

Junmai Daiginjo-shu bought at Chapinstow, London. It is a raw sake. It has a dry taste. Unpatseurised sake. Unpatseurised sake. Dry taste. Weak smell and aroma, you can feel the taste if alcohol. 3.5/5 ✖️ don't buy again: it's a welcome change from the softer Junmai Daiginjo we usually have, but it isn't my favourite.

I was curious about this sake when I saw it on Sake no Wa before. It was given to me as a present by chance. It has a spreading umami and a bitter finish. It was a delicious sake. The "Recommended for you" list has become full of Hokkaido sake 😀.

Today, I went to Okushika after a long time. As expected of Okushika's Yamahai, it has a habit. It has a high acidity. It seems to become a habit as you drink it.

A souvenir from a business trip to Hagi. It was a nice sake. I want to drink it again.

Japanese>English

At Hankyu Department Store I had a chance to drink all kinds of sake. The nigori was also delicious. They also gave us a 1:1 blend of nigori and junmai. It was also delicious. The one that caught my attention was the Junmai sake "P&A (Panda)", Junmai sake "P&A (Panda)". It's black and white, so I guess it's 🐼😁. It is said that lactic acid is not used in the yeast stocking but is substituted with citric acid produced from white and black malted rice and fermented slowly at low temperature. It is refreshing and light to drink. Pleasant acidity and a clean aftertaste, but it was a bit unusual.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801

The sake we received. It was a weekday, so I only tasted it lightly. It tasted quite good. I like the raw sake.

Japanese>English

Fukushima's "Tsukiyumi" was recommended as the second sake at the sake school, and was a little spicier than the first sake, "Koshi". We were able to experience the variation of the dishes and Tomomi Nama sake.

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

Japanese>English

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

Japanese>English

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

The sake is made and labeled in a way that takes advantage of the climate of Oarai, Ibaraki. It is refreshingly dry when served cold. When heated, it becomes more floral and friendly. I'd like to try it with sea bream or flatfish from Oarai.

Japanese>English

Rice used is Oarai-grown Chiyonishiki It is more rough than fresh. However, it is not rough at all. It has a refreshing taste, and the umami of the rice spreads slowly. I've had many Tsuki no I's with this kind of atmosphere! I think it will probably become milder and more flavorful with aging, but I like it better as it is because it has its own personality.

Japanese>English

Banana like aroma. The mouthfeel is slightly sweet. After that, the dry taste or the feeling of running spreads to the mouth. There is a hint of bitterness, but the aftertaste is sweet. Tsuki no Ii has a new toji (brewer) this season, and they are making sake under a new system. I can't wait to see how it changes 🤗

Kumamoto's local sake, Sanzanmura Slightly sweet ginjo aroma A light, sweet mouthfeel with a soft acidity. Like drinking fresh green apple juice I drank too much and my memory is fuzzy I'm not even sure of the notes I wrote at the time😅. Anyway, it's delicious! Sake brewed with sake rice grown by a pesticide-free method called "Koi Farming" in Sanzan Village! Using the carp farming method, carp are released into the rice paddies 🌾🌾 to get rid of pests. A few years ago, I drank Manbo from Kumamoto Kameman Shuzo, which was a sake made using the duck farming method🦆! There are many people in Kumamoto who practice natural farming methods 🫶.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) There is a very good flavor on it, but it also has a light sourness and freshness According to the pamphlet, it is suitable for yakitori and oden. I felt it would be suitable for the autumn taste!

Rice used is unknown We do not know the concept, but it seems to be a "cat series" and there are others like "Wind and Cats". Although low-alcoholic, it is not light and has a deep flavor. It was fruity, well-balanced and delicious sake. ❗️
